The mail program `mew' uses ctext encoding to display the summary
buffer.  The question is how to display mails in windows-125x
encodings.  Here the relevant snippet from the mail exchange:

  [about handling windows-125x in ctext encoding]

  It's worth trying to ask the developers to have *private* extensions
  to 'ctext.  Defining a new private escape sequence is just enough, I
  guess.

Is something like this already available?  Do you have other
suggestions?  Otherwise, is there a simple way to convert windows-125x
encodings to something which can be easily displayed with ctext?
